Because our Sunday morning sermon series on 2nd Peter will conclude this month, I’ll use this month’s article to connect with Peter’s focus on Christ's Second Coming. In his 2nd epistle, Peter warns his readers that there will be those who deny the Second Coming of Christ: 3 Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, 4 and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? (2 Peter 3:3-4). As in Peter’s day, so in ours; there are those who believe that He will not return. I’d like to answer...

For this month’s article, I’ve chosen to share with you an article by Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum, a former classmate of mine at Dallas Theological Seminary, a Hebrew Christian, and a prolific writer.

On Sunday morning, October 31, 2010, the Grace Family studied together these verses from 2nd Peter: 19 So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. 20 But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, 21 for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God...

Do you ever feel forgotten and lonely? Even a shepherd gets lonely if I read what David writes in Psalm 13. David, the Shepherd, discloses a fascinating look into a side of his life to which all of us can relate. The Psalms carry a message that speaks loud and clear to the human heart. Often, when David wrote a Psalm, he reached deep into the recesses of his being and exposes a full range of emotions. Someone has stated that the Psalms give the godly person a vehicle of responsive expression to God. That is so true! While this Psalm is first of all a great prayer its primary lesson is a model response for anyone experiencing trials. David wrote it in deep anguish over the apparent success of an unrelenting, unnamed enemy. It might have been Saul...

Below is a letter received from the Executive Director of The Friends of Israel ministry that I’ve deemed important for the entire Grace Family to read. The Friends of Israel organization is one of my favorite ministries that I’ve followed for more than 40 years of my pastoral ministry.

A one-year subscription comes free of charge....
